going on la tha east, with China sa tha
prise. It la .tha Anglo-Saxon , raws
agalnat tha world, aad with tha preiant
bitter feeling ready to break oat in war
It does not take much to start an open
quarrel among tha tailor men. There
waa a row in a aaloon, two or three
street fights, a council of war and a call
to arms.
The Russlsn aailora started hostili
ties. Ther formed an alliance with the
French and German sailors, and 400
strong marched down Qawen street,
which it but t3 feet wide, from the Josa
I temple to the water, in double linesand
announced that no Johnny Bull or Yan-
Vee must peas through unless he want
ed hit head broken. The English aail
ora asked the Americana eq join them,
and found by actual count they were
150 strong. They parleyed with the
foreigners, while SO ef their number
were sent to the rear to seise or hire
all the fiorickshae ln eight- When
these "were secured they formed a
wedge with them.
With load burralis the British-American
allies rushed shoulder to shoulder
at the black mast of sneering, railing
foreigners. One hundred of them
formed the wedge, 50 stayed behind to
cover the rear. After some doeen. of
the foreigners had been knocked down
by the onslaught they gave way, and
the Jinrickshas were pushed to their
rear and smashed to.pfecee. Meanwhile
the Tear guard of 50'engaged In a band
tohsnd fist fight wKh their enemies.
The Germans, French and Russians
were now surrounded by the Anglo-
Saxons, and the fight went merrily on.
A 'dreadful din reigned. Tha Ameri
cans were tinging "America,' and the
DrrSah "God Save tbe Queen." It was
theeame tune, and that tune waa heard

df tan eye witness: "The British lion
and the American eagle knocked seven
he'll out of the 400 enen of the com
bined nations."
The local authorities could. do noth
ing, and appealed re the warship offi
cers, who ordered their men to atop, and
hostilities ceased. The affair, Mr. Hep
buna thinki, may be warning to the
po veers In the far east not to fool with
aueh a combination. He declares that
the nussisn-Oerman-Vreoch alliance,
although over double the Anglo-American
fn numbers, was badly-whipped.
The Anglo-Saxons surrounded them
and belabored their opponents unmer

When Commodore Schley took formal
command of the flying squadron the
other day the "yards" atf the flagship
Brooklyn were manned by bluejackets,
and on deck all involuntarily Joined in
tht shout of applause. In ithe old nary,
when United States ships were actually
ships with yards, the boVtun's mate's
call: "AM hands cheer shipl" was fol
lowed by much more plcttsresque cer
emony than is poRsible now, when the
vessels of the nary are fitted with but
a single yard, and that only used for
signaling. At the word of soommand
"Man the yards!" there was an amount
of acrobatic scurrying on the- main,
decks of the old ships that wast calcu
lated to made the shtp-vlsitor IwieThlt
breath, the thing looked to dangerous.
The men forward In the bluejacket uni
form would fuiriy leap up the rope
ladders, and almost by the time the
echoes of the command had died away
every yard on each .most would sup
port scores of men and boys, all siaaHr
ing erect, most of tbem only held up by
the crossed arms of the men beside
them. This representation of a cross
waa held by all of the men, and it ws
their business to stand thus with ab
solute ttatuesqueneM. Then the com
mand "Cheer ship!" would be bawled
out on deck by the chief bo'sun's mate,
and there would bo a yell from cat
head to mizzen that couldn't help warm
the blood of everybody within bearing
of it. When the men manned the yard
with all sail except top'ls and stuna'le
set, such a picture waa really beaatiful,
the men' uniforms of blue standing
out in sapphire-like contract to the
vameo. whiteness of the shrouds. This
was a ceremony on all formal occasions,
such at the visit aboard old ships of
distinguished men. And man the yards
and cheer ship were commands always

EARLY CULTIVATION. t
It Meaas MaeB Bavrst Work, Bat It le
Wsx TBsvt rrs foe Itself Sees
Tataus Twtee Orev,
With, ail eultivnted crops it la the
early euttt vation that la the most lmpor-
rtant. Tbe weeds are easiest killed when
they first Yank e their appearance above
ground, and If the weeds can be kept
down and the soil in good tilth until
the plants get well started' to growing
It Is much easier to maintain a good
growth. One decided advantage in hav
ing the soil wetl prepared when the seed
Is pi sated is that it will be possible to
begin tbe cultivation earlier.
In most eases when the cultivation is
commenced In good season in the gar
den eeherp steel rake or prong toe, and,
in the field, a good smoothing harrow
will be found the beet snd most econom
ical implements. Properly used, they
will destroy ths weeds thst msy hsve
started up and at the same time witl
fine the soil and keep It la a good tilth.
With all crops the cost of cultivating
is quite an item, and when the condi
tion of tbe soil win admit nstng them
tn no way oan the weeds be killed out
so effectually and foe noil bs so thor
oughly fined as when these Implement
are used.
Then tbe cultivator can be used,' tak
ing pains to work as close to the plants
at possible. There (t no advantasre In
working the soil deep. Thoroughly stir
the surface, and a better growth can be
secured than 'by stirring .deep, while
hallow cultivation is easier on man
and team..
Under ordinary conditions one good
bit swing snd three good cultivations
BBenKI be given wtthln the first six
weeks of plsnt growth. Once the plsntt
get wrfl started to growing, It le com
pentttrely easy to keep them growing.
